I have been reviewing my images of Acytolepis puspa. I am not that familiar with ssp. lambi from the south of Thailand.
The three images here are from far southern Thailand. There might be some confusion with Plautella cossaea. I think these are A. p. lambi but would be grateful for confirmation. Thanks

All 3 are A. puspa.

Acytolepis can be IDed by presence of a black spot at the base of space 7.
In pix 1 & 3 this spot has a tail making it look like a tadpole.
In pix 2, this spot is unusually large.

TL Seow: Cheers.
